About Debbie
Debbie Rehman Lux is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with 25 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, eating concerns, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. Debbie creates a calm, nonjudgmental space so people can say what they are feeling and thinking.
She emphasizes practical steps that can be used between sessions. Over her career she has worked with a wide range of concerns tied to identity and belonging.
How Debbie works
She addresses body image, abandonment worries, isolation and social anxiety in straightforward language. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Debbie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focusing on how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact.
She helps clients notice patterns, test unhelpful thoughts, and try small behavior changes that make daily life easier. Sessions are collaborative and goal oriented, with clear strategies to practice outside of appointments. Her approach is practical and compassionate.
Sessions tend to be warm and focused rather than abstract. Debbie works with each person to set realistic goals and track progress over time. Parents reading on a phone will find short, direct conversations and simple takeaways to use at home or on the go.
She encourages small steps that add up to real change and supports people as they build new habits and clearer communication.

How CBT and online sessions work together
Debbie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new ways of responding. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions so clients can try small experiments and notice what changes. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, stress, social worries, body image concerns, and challenges with self-esteem.She approaches treatment as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client pick goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan if something is not working. Finding the right approach is part of the work, and she will help tailor methods to a person's needs and preferences.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or text-based messaging can support brief check-ins, ongoing accountability, or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while using CBT tools in everyday situations.
